Talking Points
When you speak at the city council, consider highlighting the following points to underscore the importance of the Safety Improvements:
- The Shepherd Durham Project aims to address high crash rates, limited pedestrian access, flooding, and congestion.
- Planned enhancements include stormwater infrastructure upgrades, new street pavement with turn lanes at locations with high turning movements, continuous pedestrian and bicycle pathways, new street lighting, tree-lined streets, and replacement of aging water and wastewater pipes.
- This project is revitalizing an area that has seen little significant infrastructure investment since the 1960s and has been developed based on several independent traffic studies.
- These studies confirm that the project’s design is suitable for both current and future traffic and aims to boost economic development along the corridor.
